The High Speed Gear 40LPC1BK Slick Plate Carrier delivers streamlined ballistic protection without the bulk of traditional tactical vests. This minimalist design prioritizes mobility while maintaining compatibility with standard SAPI plates and accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike bulky modular carriers, the 40LPC1BK features a clean front panel with no built-in pouches or MOLLE webbing. The slick design reduces snag hazards during vehicle operations and close-quarters movement. High Speed Gear's proprietary shoulder pad system distributes weight evenly across 4.5 inches of contact area, reducing pressure points during extended wear.
